No. I have no problem with filing a bug report, but I was unsure if this makes sense because we are talking (at least in parts) about Windows software. Should I? Btw: I pulled out HEAD from SVN and the chip is still unsupported, at least not mentioned in sys/dev/bwn and sys/dev/bwi and its man pages. matthias -- Matthias Apitz t +49-89-61308 351 - f +49-89-61308 399 - m +49-170-4527211 e - w http://www.unixarea.de/ From owner-freebsd-mobile@FreeBSD.ORG Mon Oct 25 08:28:35 2010 Return-Path: Delivered-To: freebsd-mobile@freebsd.org Received: from mx1.freebsd.org (mx1.freebsd.org [IPv6:2001:4f8:fff6::34]) by hub.freebsd.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id AFE2D106564A for ; Mon, 25 Oct 2010 08:28:35 +0000 (UTC) (envelope-from onemda@gmail.com) Received: from mail-wy0-f182.google.com (mail-wy0-f182.google.com [74.125.82.182]) by mx1.freebsd.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id 44CB58FC20 for ; Mon, 25 Oct 2010 08:28:34 +0000 (UTC) Received: by wyb42 with SMTP id 42so3041663wyb.13 for ; Mon, 25 Oct 2010 01:28:34 -0700 (PDT) DKIM-Signature: v=1; a=rsa-sha256; c=relaxed/relaxed; d=gmail.com; s=gamma; h=domainkey-signature:mime-version:received:received:in-reply-to :references:date:message-id:subject:from:to:cc:content-type; bh=lB2Q2BCB7iBmk818a/KmC6OU1qiX6kKSK/aPQZAN+CM=; b=heerh2IeX8YgXqoUN+jq58428+ugvFjHZRxtIPeAC0EYSEOvjkAYyyOCQmAiUDEYyL Sntggh4zVcxLOhoSfK5KPTqfuwDTe5E6TXLStRQu4oo69yhw2lC4J1HEKEwpWK3YevPC uVNLrU6DrvrdHkWngq9v3sV1W9r1mZtV7kJyY= DomainKey-Signature: a=rsa-sha1; c=nofws; d=gmail.com; s=gamma; h=mime-version:in-reply-to:references:date:message-id:subject:from:to :cc:content-type; b=YAFbg48ZGLLgMcRfs67XrFbtSrLuaIcWXBYmx/jgkV+OE3X7nqENA+yvjCCK2Fa5pK fqtl7LwJmUy4QocI+01kxXm24RkHA9EjQHaJfE613NyqdHBRdrDVLAiQC6N04mxcOTS7 QUFgbF4VwYdXjhNS06NEQ0nV/ixlVQATU0wUk= MIME-Version: 1.0 Received: by 10.216.51.21 with SMTP id a21mr5832990wec.50.1287995314055; Mon, 25 Oct 2010 01:28:34 -0700 (PDT) Received: by 10.216.50.140 with HTTP; Mon, 25 Oct 2010 01:28:34 -0700 (PDT) In-Reply-To: <20101025081558.GA37528@current.Sisis.de> References: <20101025065706.GA82669@current.Sisis.de> <20101025081558.GA37528@current.Sisis.de> Date: Mon, 25 Oct 2010 08:28:34 +0000 Message-ID: From: Paul B Mahol To: Matthias Apitz Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1 Cc: freebsd-mobile@freebsd.org Subject: Re: USB Wifi adapter (Atheros) X-BeenThere: freebsd-mobile@freebsd.org X-Mailman-Version: 2.1.5 Precedence: list List-Id: Mobile computing with FreeBSD List-Unsubscribe: , List-Archive: List-Post: List-Help: List-Subscribe: , X-List-Received-Date: Mon, 25 Oct 2010 08:28:35 -0000 On 10/25/10, Matthias Apitz wrote: > El dia Monday, October 25, 2010 a las 08:04:54AM +0000, Paul B Mahol > escribio: > >> On 10/25/10, Matthias Apitz wrote: >> > >> > Hello, >> > >> > I've bought an Acer Aspire One D250 mini laptop which has an unsupported >> > Broadcom Wifi card build in (BCM4310 USB Controller).

Should I? If you tell me what you did and what did not work I could help you. Bugs can't fix itself. NDISulator works on USB somehow, ignoring fact that it puts USB related timeouts messages on console (I fail to track source of this problem - it appeared some months after weongyo@ works was merged to CURRENT), and unpluging attached device panics kernel. > > Btw: I pulled out HEAD from SVN and the chip is still unsupported, at > least not mentioned in sys/dev/bwn and sys/dev/bwi and its man pages. Neither bwn nor bwi support USB. For USB you will certainly need completly another new driver.

The laptop comes with Windows7 pre-installed and I've pulled out the files: BCMWL6.SYS netbc6.inf I run $ ndisgen netbc6.inf BCMWL6.SYS and it created the module BCMWL6_SYS.ko; and in addition I created bwi_v3_ucode.ko from the ports (don't know if this is also required for the ndis based driver). Both get loaded on boot but the interface ndis0 does not show up and pciconf(8) shows the device without attached driver. The same is true when I use an older (2006) bcmwl5.* from XP. I don't have netbc6.inf BCMWL6.SYS for XP. Maybe this is the main fault... I'm missing something?

Adding support for 6 API is in very early (planning) stage.
